@DogeDog101: Added! Thanks for your interest!

tundra monolair (except when i'm not)

Those eggs are set to hatch today, time willing - I need to make some space in my lair, write a new chapter, and somehow get out of my college town in time for Thanksgiving in the middle of it all. :P But rest assured, the eggs are a'coming!

[font=baskerville][center]Chapter 2: Fathering and Mothering [/center] Clan Mavenlark being a haven for drifters, merchants, and other transients, Knick and Knack knew that choosing their pick of potential fathers would feel no different than sifting through the produce stand for the best piece of fruit. It wasn’t that the sisters were callous, but with the flame of rivalry fueling their hearts, there was no room for passion. The two wasted no after coming to an agreement on the terms of their final competition to find their “lucky” studs, departing from the lair they had shared since adolescence almost immediately. It was unspoken, but both would be polite enough to give the other a wide berth when they brought their respective partners home. Knick and Knack’s home clan existed entirely within a particularly thick shoot of crystal within the Crystalspine Reaches, which had been either magically or engineerically (sometimes both, where applicable) enhanced for size, space, climate, and light source, all totally sealed from the outside world. It was impossible to tell what time of day it actually was when their search began - Mavenlark tended to run on its own time, and dragons mostly fell asleep and worked according to their own body’s clocks. In fact, the only area of the clan that ran on any sort of timetable was where Knick and Knack lived: the inner clan. Mavenlark is a single clan divided into two parts. “Outer” Mavenlark is the location of a large refugee and merchant camp, entirely engulfing the outer walls, nooks, and crannies of the spire in temporary dens, campsites, and marketplaces. These dens are often the resting place of weary travelers, renegade criminals, travelling sellers, and other mysteries. Food is provided free of charge by the city’s permanent residents in exchange for the boost to their commerce, as the relative safety of the city - thanks to an adamant guard force - makes it a popular stop on the route through Sornieth’s trading circuits. “Inner” Mavenlark is where the city’s permanent, wealthy citizens live. Sitting in the very center of the spire, surrounded by the camps, this part of the lair is shielded by magical reinforcement to make entrance possible only during certain times of the day or by certain dragons, when guards are present in large forces. Only highly trained artisans, guards, and their family are allowed permanent residence within the city and can enter and exit at will - Knick and Knack fell into the latter category, with their mother being a respected poet. All of this to say, Knick and Knack found their mates very quickly, and shuttled them back into the inner lair as soon as their fast talk and batting eyelashes would let them.

Hello, pinglist! I have several pieces of exciting news. First of all: the first set of Knick and Knack's children has hatched! To celebrate, a short second chapter of their history has been written. Chapters won't accompany every hatching, but I figured the first one was worth regarding! You can read that [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2773821/3#post_41399847]here[/url]. What's that? You want to see the hatchlings? Sure! All of them have been lore'd up as per the rules of the challenge, and are ready for adoption. Just ping me to adopt - first come, first served.

People who adopt ten Knick's/Knack's hatchlings will get an original badge to celebrate their achievement. I'll be keeping track of who adopts what dragons! Thanks, Polaris!
